Top Transfers to Expect at the End of the 2021/2022 Season

In this article, we will focusing on 5 of the biggest transfers we expect to see once the transfer window opens officially.

1.     Erling Haaland to Leave Borussia Dortmund

Erling Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola was one of the busiest and most talked about football agent last summer, and we expect him to be busy again this summer, and finally facilitate the transfer of his most prized asset to one of Europe’s elite team.

Haaland has been in unbelievable form since he joined Dortmund in the winter of 2020. He has since attracted the attentions of some of European football’s heavyweights, including Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, the Manchester clubs, among others. Last summer, Haaland was closely targeted by current European Champions, Chelsea, who were in the market for a top marksman, but the deal fell through, mainly because of a rumored £820,000 a week contract, and another £34m agent fee which Haaland agent had demanded in the course of negotiations.

Although Haaland didn’t get his dream move last summer, it is expected he will be leaving Dortmund this season as he reportedly has a modest £68m release clause in his contract which his admirers will definitely pay without thinking twice. From what we can learn from the media, the leading clubs for his signature this summer include, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and possibly Barcelona.

2.     Kylian Mbappe to Join Real Madrid

The golden boy of French football, Kylian Mbappe came close to joining Spanish giants, Real Madrid in the last winter transfer, but the transfer was blocked by the Qatari owners of his current club, Paris Saint Germain. Mbappe who has less than a year on his current contract will be free to talk to Real Madrid starting from January, and from all indications, this is a deal that will likely go through.

The player was rumored to have said playing for the Los Blancos is his childhood dream, and the fact he is in the final year of his contract means he has all the power to make his dreams come true. Mbappe’s wages per week currently stands at £413,000 and it is expected he can increase that amount significantly at the Spanish capital. All other things being equal, Mbappe’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, will be able to take this deal over the line with minimum fuss.

3.     Antonio Rudiger to Leave Chelsea

Current European champions, Chelsea will most likely lose the services of talismanic defender, Antonio Rudiger at the end of the season given the current realities. Rudiger who is in the last year of his contract with the London club was instrumental to their European success in May as well as their great start to the current season.

However, agreeing to a new contract has been quite difficult as player and club could not agree to a mutually beneficial deal. The contract offer on the table from Chelsea is said to have been below Rudiger’s expectations, and he is expected to join another club by June.

4.     Mohammed Salah to Leave Liverpool

Unlike most of the players on this list, Salah is not in the last year of his Liverpool contract, but he may refuse to sign a new contract, which will leave him with a year to run on his contract at the end of the season.

Now, that is bad news for Liverpool. Undoubtedly, Salah is the most in-form player in the world currently, and this means he has many suitors. Failure to agree to a new bumper deal with Liverpool will mean he would likely move to a new team by the end of the current season.

5.     Edinson Cavani to Leave Manchester United

At the start of the new season, Uruguayan forward, Cavani was seen as an untouchable in the Manchester United team. However, all of that seems to have changed as a lack of playing time, injuries, and change of manager means he may be staring at the exit door. For a player of Cavani’s stature, there can’t be a lack of suitors. In fact, it has been rumored that new moneybags, Newcastle United may be going all out for the player next summer.

Bottom Line

The football transfer window is exciting and unpredictable, as a number of things can change quickly regarding players, clubs, and even the football administrators. However, going by what we know now, we are likely going to see the deals suggested above go though at the end of the current season.
